How lawyers use Highlyt
Link clauses to precedent and notes
Connect a contract clause to a case, a client memo, or a marked risk. Your matter map becomes visible instead of living in scattered comments.
Ask AI from your source library
Export structured highlights or connect through MCP so Claude can answer from the documents you reviewed, with context preserved.
Workflow pressure
Every legal document creates more context to manage
Contract review gets fragmented
Clauses, risks, notes, and examples end up split across PDFs, emails, and separate docs.
Case research loses its trail
You remember the argument, but not the exact paragraph or source that supported it.
Client notes need structure
Meeting notes and matter facts are useful only if they can be searched and tied back to source material.
AI needs clean inputs
Copying loose excerpts into a chat loses page context, color meaning, and links between related passages.
